Insane Tax Increases

Under the leadership on the current School Board, Upper Dublin residents have experienced THE HIGHEST TEN YEAR TAX INCREASE out of 60 districts!!!

​

  • Residents are being taxed out of their homes

  • Property values are decreasing because new home buyers don't want to pay the high taxes

  • It's cheaper to move to Wissahickon to benefit from lower taxes AND higher school rankings

  • How does UD continue to have escalating taxes with a declining enrollment?

​

THIS NEEDS TO STOP. UD UNITED IS COMMITTED TO MAKE CHANGE TO HELP PREVENT UNNECESSARY SCHOOL TAX INCREASES IN UPPER DUBLIN.
